Ice Box made of Cherry

This is an Ice Box made of Cherry wood that I have the logs cut and sawed and dried . It measures about 32 wide by 40 high by 16 deep . I don’t have a one made of Oak that I can show the inside at a different time . The finnish is General finnishes the Arm R All oil base . All my project are from trees that were cut by me and hauled to the mill and sawed . I have my own drying shed that I made in 1997 in the fall and I have a batch of wood in it every year . My sister allowed me to cut about a thousand feet of mostly oak ,some cherry , some locust ,some walnut, some elm ,and the next year I cut another smaller batch and got some sycamore and that was a first time for the sycamore put it on the bottom and it raised the whole pile up . I was told I dried it to fast .

Yes we had one of theses to when went to the farm . But I was raised up to 9 yr.old in town and we had a electric fridge . And then we went to the farm and had an ice box and then you realize how god you had it in town . But then it took seral months but they finally got power to us in that area. And I did enjoy life on the farm there was a lot of work to be done every day . I just did not think it would ever end . But I think it made a better person out of me . Kids now a day don’t know what real work is . A lot of it because of all the new equipment and the way they do things now. I don’t think anybody works like that now. I got the brass hinges and latches from back then it was Trendlines woodworking tools and hardware .I use Minwax oil stain and General brand oil base Arm R All
